You should not change your medication without a proper discussion with the doctor with your concerns and your past medical history.
You need to understand about high blood pressure.
Normal range of blood pressure is between 90/60 to 140/90, anything above or below is is abnormal.
Many factors can affect blood pressure, including:
1) The amount of water and salt you have in your body
2) The condition of your kidneys, nervous system, or blood vessels
3) Your hormone levels
4) your lifestyle - smoking, drinking, exercise
You are more likely to be told your blood pressure is too high as you get older. This is because your blood vessels become stiffer as you age. When that happens, your blood pressure goes up. High blood pressure increases your chance of having a stroke, heart attack, heart failure, kidney disease, or early death.
DASH stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. DASH lowers high blood pressure and improves levels of cholesterol. This reduces your risk of getting heart disease.
The DASH Diet
Emphasizes vegetables, fruits, and fat-free or low-fat dairy products.
Includes whole grains, fish, poultry, beans, seeds, nuts, and vegetable oils.
Limits sodium, sweets, sugary beverages, and red meats.
Along with DASH, other lifestyle changes can help lower your blood pressure. They include staying at a healthy weight, exercising, and not smoking.
My advice to you would be
1) Keep a BP daily record for at least one week
2) Basic tests should be one to rule out cardiac / kidney issues
3) unless any recent evaluation has been done I would advice these test
ECG
ECHO
Lipid Profile
TSH
KFT
Renal doppler

I can't see your report enclosed
but as per your statement your cholesterol is more than 300
total cholesterol must be less than 200
HDL must be high above 45 yes it is healthy
LDL should be less than 130 yes it is leathal
your doctor has given the right medicine believe him and believe yourself
the summary about lipids Mast summarily reject your doubts.

Cholesterol level increases due to increased production and decreased burning by body. If you eat lots of unhealthy junk foods or fat rich foods then your body converts them to cholesterol. Similarly if you don't burn your fat by exercise then they tend to accumulate. There are other causes also. But these are simplest of explanations.

It is difficult to pinpoint the reason. Please go for a routine medical examination with your doctor and let the doctor decide based on clinical examination and some important tests. Take care of your health by adapting a healthy lifestyle. If the problem persists for more time then you can also try Homeopathy which is safe and effective. Homeopathy being holistic in nature helps overall health promotion. You can contact me if interested.
